Auto-joined class chats
Pick your courses from the UCLA Schedule of Classes and you're instantly in a chat with everyone else taking them.
Made by UCLA students, for UCLA students
Every UCLA class. Instantly connected.
Add your courses and BChat drops you into a group chat with everyone in each class. No hunting for GroupMe links, no Discord servers full of bots.
Free for UCLA students. Sign in with your UCLA Google account.
Finding your classmates shouldn't be a side quest
UCLA students mostly use 3rd party platforms to connect with classmates.
What are some of these student messaging apps?
Well, there's GroupMe and Discord, but they both kinda suck.
Yeah, there's always bots for some reason… 🤖
So we made BChat: one chat per class, only real UCLA students.
